Presidential candidate Clinton promises to prosecute police killers
NEW YORK Hillary Clinton promised on Monday to bring the "full weight of the law" against people who kill police officers if she becomes the next U.S. president after two recent episodes of gunmen slaying police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
Clinton, the presumptive Democratic candidate ahead of a Nov. 8 election, made the promise in a speech in Cincinnati at the annual convention of the civil rights group the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"Anyone who kills a police officer and anyone who helps must be held accountable," Clinton said. "As president, I will bring the full weight of the law to bear to make sure those who kill police officers are brought to justice."
The penalties for killing a police officer are rightly more severe than those for killing a civilian because police are symbols of the rule of law, she said.
Clinton's remarks come among heighten tensions between police forces and many black and Latino Americans, who have been rallying in protests across the country against a spate of police killings of black men, often unarmed, during encounters.

start with Jarjar at the White Hut.
Her own private police, yes.
Unless the perp is a member of Black Lives Matter, in which case the officer will be prosecuted.
All she needs to do is look at 1600 penn ave and in the mirror.
Sure, whatever Hillary. Like anything with her, there would be exceptions.
I’m sure.
With the same passionate sense of justice with which Eric Holder went after the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation.
Another lie from the pathological liar.
‘cept this one ain’t funny.
Just like Obama isn’t doing.Trying to get some distance between her and the Kenyan?
Her talking about the rule of law is a rude joke.
L
Shows her polls show people think she won’t even do that much.
Laws don’t apply to her...Screw her.
Hillary Threatens to Usurp Power of Sovereign States.
Did she have anything to say about the robot they used to kill the Dallas cop killer?
“... anyone who helps must be held accountable,” Clinton said.
She and her boss 0bama have been busily fanning the flames with anti-police rhetoric, so she could start by holding herself and 0bama accountable.
This is an empty promise of course.
All these cop-killing fellows end up dead, or nearly all of them. And those that aren’t dead end up in jail forever, in spite of the left yelling about them, like Mumia Abu Jamal.
And all the killing, prosecuting and jailing is a local/state thing. The Feds don’t do common murders.
Hey Hildabeast, you mean prosecute them the way you were prosecuted? *s*
FUHC!!!!
She’ll put the FBI right on this.
What a dumbass she is.
We’ve seen that the FBI can be bought.
What happens when someone outbids her with Comey?
Whoopsie! Gonna cost more!
Prosecute all lawbreakers!!
Is that ‘police who kill,’ or those that kill police?
